TVS vs Bajaj -- which bike under 60K

May 5, 2016, 2:36 am
$

0
I have read more than 100s of threads on xbhp regarding bikes, so here is what it comes down to:


  1. Budget: 60K
  2. Body: age 33, 5'6", thin and lean guy
  3. Intended usage: 100% pure office commuting.
  4. Fuel Efficiency requirement: 60+ . 80+ is better
  5. City & Highway percentage usage: 90% city
  6. Approximate Daily running: 30-40km
  7. City: Hyderabad
  8. Preference: No racing/weekend recreations at all.
  9. TOP Priorities: Mileage, good suspension, comfort seating, after sales service, spare parts easily available.


Question 1: Disc brake are better on these high-mileage+low-power bikes ?
Question 2: Spoke wheels are better than alloy wheels, technically ?
Question 3: What benefit electric start has ? I can kick, I am quite fit for that :)

I have selected following bikes based on above:

  1. Bajaj CT100B: amazing mileage. no-alloy wheels/disc brakes. Biggest seat I have ever seen. Is this is the tension-free bike every poor guy talks about ? Costs 38K on-road with accessories and everything. 1 year AMC after 1 year warranty included. CT100 as not avaliable.
  2. Bajaj Platina: amazing mileage, good looks comparing to CT100B. Costs 54K with all those same extras for CT100B. Why so much price difference ? DTSi engine is superior than of normal engine of CT100B in what way ?
  3. TVS Sport: amazing mileage, TVS technology, technology and service both better than Bajaj ?
  4. TVS victor: lesser mileage but got disc brakes & alloy wheels. I like these 2 features personally


I slected TVS because of the xbhp review of TVS Star City Plus. I was impressed by how much technical specifications TVS has provided, how much the company is open about its tech. 2nd, I have visited Hero, TVS and Bajaj showrooms and TVS people seemed most genuine and straighforward. Bajaj people felt too much desi but not dishonest.

Not selected Honda because from what I have read in 100s of threads here in 7 hours yesterday that Honda bikes are good and reliable but their spare parts and service, both are expensive. Same for Hero. I have asked around offline too and got similar views. Plus, I currently can not afford buying Hero glamour or Honda Shine, budget is already streatched at 60K and mileage is priority.

NOTE: Mods, I have a thread earlier on which scooter ?, I started new thread because now it has come to TVS vs Bajaj bikes under 60K. If you dont like this happening then you can merge the threads. I just prefered it to be different thread with different requirements.

Sarath Kumar will make his debut in the Super Sports 600cc class of the 2016 FIM Asia Road Racing Championship this weekend.

Name: Sarath Kumar to debut in ARRC Super Sports 600cc class.jpg Views: 574 Size: 93.4 KB

The 24-year old Chennai-based rider, who has competed in the Asia Dream Cup in the past, will join the ARRC in the second round to be held at the Chang International Circuit in Buriram, Thailand, on May 8-9 after missing the first round in Johor, Malaysia, in April due to a knee injury.

Sudheer, Director, True Pursuit Global Management said,
Quote:
“India as a country has always been very cricket-centric and I believe we have much more talent in India in other sports also. So when I heard about Sarath, his talent and performance in the international series, I decided to support him. It will be great pride to see India in the Asian level championship.

“I know WOW Digit personally and it is an upcoming brand across Asia. So I brought them on board as a main sponsor for the team. They saw an immediate synergy with ARRC as it travels to different parts of Asia that are our key markets. Although WOW Digit does not have a direct connect with moto racing, the excitement of racing and the viewership across Asia will give the brand a good reach. So, it’s a win-win situation.”
On his expectations from Sarath, Sudheer said:
Quote:
“We now know that the class is competitive from what we saw during the first round in Johor, Malaysia, and as long as he participates in the right spirit and learns the techniques this season, we will be proud of an Indian participation.”
Sarath Kumar said:
Quote:
“This is a big opportunity. I have been riding 250cc for long now, but my bodyweight and height were becoming a disadvantage. Hence, this was the only move I could make and thanks to my team Honda, Mr John Sudheer, Ten10 Racing and WOW Digit, this opportunity has come at the right time.

“It is one the toughest grid in the World today, maybe even tougher than World Super Sport, but ARRC will provide a great platform for me to work hard, ride and learn from the best in Asia. Having missed the first round due to knee injury that I am still recovering from, it is going to be a tough task to catch up and learn the bike and get up to pace.

“Since 2011 in World Championship, I have always been involved in international racing, thanks to Ramji Govindarajan of Ten10 Racing who has been working hard to keep my international career going for so many years. However, this switch is critical to my racing career as this will define my future in international racing."

Using Spark in Diesel Engine

Hi Friends,

I am having this question from long time ago.

I knew the reason for not using the Spark Plug ( SP ) in the Diesel Engine is, the boiling point of the diesel is very low when compared to the petrol, so we are not using the SP over in the diesel engine.

So, my question is, consider

1. we are using the SP in the diesel engine, so what will happen? It will get easily fired up right. So we can use it right. So the diesel engine will be easily started up even in the higher altitude and also in the winter season....

Please forward me to some right place, if this question is not right for this forum..

Thanks....

The MaxBhp Festival 2016, Umiam: the 110cc ride across 10 states and one international border

What do you do when you are offered to ride across the country from Bangalore to exotic Shillong to be a part of one of the largest biking festivals in the North-east? You sit and pray that your reliable steed (read “the” TVS Star City Plus) makes it back to Bangalore in time. The first edition of the MaxBhp festival 2016 in Umiam Lake this year was scheduled for the 22nd and 23rd of April and here I was on the 11th of April taking autos and buses for transport. It had been over 90 days since the conclusion of the “TVS Bangalore to Bangkok Moto Run” and thanks to a near inefficient customs process bordering on tragic I was yet to receive the bike. I knew the bike. I knew myself. I needed at least a week to cover the 3000 odd km from Bangalore to Shillong. I couldn’t pull off the 100+kmph shenanigans. Having done the coastal route from Bangalore to Kolkata last time, I was sure I wanted to take a different route this time around. (There was no way I would subject myself to the Kolkata-Malda -Siliguri stretch ever again!). Having survived a 7000 km journey on an 110cc commuter motorcycle I was confident, I could take just about anything the ride threw at me. I was wrong!

Day 1: Central India. #Hindustan ka Dil Dekho ads had enticed me enough to visit the heart of India numerous times and I decided this was as good a time as any. My initial itinerary was to pass through Anantpur, Hyderabad, Nagpur, Jabalpur, Varanasi, Darbangah, Siliguri, Guwahati and finally Shillong. Friends harped upon the heat wave passing through the country. Bah! These fellows. I will be fine, 200 km into the ride I was pouring entire bottles of mineral water down my jacket. Hot is an understatement. I had started the ride with enough jackets and gloves to complete a mission to Antarctica. I reached Hyderabad at 530 pm on Day 1, 564 km from Bangalore in a pair of shorts and a T-shirt. (I did contemplate if I should ride topless, but better sense prevailed. The stern looking cops in Andhra Pradesh had a lot to do with this decision!)



Day 2: My respect for the people living in Telangana went up exponentially as each hour passed. I have never wanted to ride naked so badly. By now I was dunking entire bottles inside by helmet as well. If it hadn’t been for the smooth tarmac of NH5, I would have probably dumped the bike and flagged down an “AC” car back to Bangalore. Riding alone is fun. Riding anywhere at 44 degrees is painful. The bike groaned and squeaked as I tried to reach the magical 90kmph mark. (It did though). The last time I entered a hotel without looking at the rooms beforehand and at any price was on the last day of the Bangalore-Bangkok ride in Thailand. I ended up in a Rs. 400/- night room in Nagpur similarly. It wasn’t that bad. You don’t have to use their toilet. The calls of nature can be answered, well in nature. Oh ok, let’s just keep the hotel out of this!



Day 3: You meet the best people in the most unusual places. I am a regular smoker and I hadn’t smoked in peace over the last 2 days thanks to those inhuman temperatures. I was determined to have a nice peaceful cigarette before battling the sun-god today. I do think the heat had gone to my head. I became possessed by my brand and searched enough shops to put a wedding family shopping spree to shame. A loud expletive hurled at the world at large in my last shop caught the attention of a gentleman having tea at the side of the road. He came up to me and asked me what the problem was. Turns out he was a biker too and offered to take me to his “Nukkad-wali Dukaan”. And a couple of more faces turned up. 30 minutes later at Café John amidst a group of old-timers and one of the oldest spots in Nagpur complete with my packet and a couple of photographs. I chuckled my way into what was one of the first upcoming highlight of the trip: Madhya Pradesh.



You know you have entered MP when temperatures drop and bad roads happen simultaneously. 8 lane highways? What are those? Single lanes were the order of the day. With bovines and people determined to get hit by your bike. Kids jumped in front of the motorcycle without a qualm, boulders the size of footballs were placed strategically to ensure maximum braking and more expletives. Men crowded around you with innocent faces every time you stooped for a break and questions ranged from your agenda behind this ride to “Aapki shaadi nahi hui? Hey Bhagwan” (You aren’t married yet? Dear god!). The forests of Central India were a visual treat. And an absolute delight to ride in. Let the pictures do the talking here.





One really cannot say one has to been to MP and not visited the brilliant Marble Rocks at Bhedaghat. And what a place it was!





Day 4: It was time for Uttar Pradesh. I was headed to the holy city Benares. The saga of bad roads were behind me and it was time for some “UP Wale Bhaiyya Tashan”. UP is like a box of assorted chocolates. You never know what you signed up for unless you have tasted it. 20 minutes after discussing politics and the current state of affairs with the cigarette shop guy, I was clicking away madly in Sarnath (part of the Buddhist Circuit). With hand woven Benares silks at throw away prices, I couldn’t but help pack a few in my overstuffed rucksack for the women back home. Stopped at Mirzapur instead of Benares. Had enough of cycle rickshaws and hand carts trying to show me who’s the boss.





Day 5: The ride was on in full throttle. I am an EDM fan. But I must say our Bihar DJs are a talented bunch. With some of the grooviest Bhojpuri numbers and “Bagal wali Dance maareli hai” there is little hope in trying to ride. You stop by the side of the road and join the party dancing their way to glory in the middle of the road. Marriage season was here, and Bihar seemed determined to prove it. With an average of one wedding procession on a national highway every 2 km, I swerved around wailing kids, sweating musicians, exasperated relatives and the bridegroom who in most cases turned out to be the guy who was showing his best moves. The panchayat election propaganda autos made the ride distracting. Darbangah came at 830pm.





Day 6: Say hello to Nepal. Here is the deal with entering Siliguri. The usual Kolkata-Malda-Siliguri route is a test. It’s a test of enlightenment. If you make it the entire way without losing your cool and abusing a single truck driver, congratulations! You have attained inner peace! One of the fundamental reasons of choosing the MP route was to spare myself the ordeal. Enter Gaurav Patel: staying near the Indo-Nepal Border at Araria in Bihar. A random chat on messenger the night before at Darbangah and I was all set to cross an international border on my way to the MaxBhp Festival. Gaurav was a brilliant chap. Post a sumptuous home cooked lunch at his place and some “Surya” cigarettes (They are the Marlboros of Nepal), Gaurav took it upon himself to ensure the TVS Star City Plus made it to its fourth country. The 250 km odd ride through Nepal was oddly gratifying. Biratnagar to Mechi. Entered Siliguri at a comfortable 6.30 pm. Siliguri has a unusually strong biking brotherhood and friends from my previous tryst with the town during the Bangalore Bangkok ride ensured a night with great people and good music.







Day 7: I was officially on the last leg of my tour and the ride to Guwahati through the Dooars was brilliant. Just like the last time. After having battled inhuman temperatures across half the country imagine my joy on seeing cloudy skies. The joy was short-lived. The cloudy skies turned into a blinding rain making all progress futile. After multiple stops and riding at speeds enough to let stray dogs overtake you, I finally entered Guwahati at 6 pm. Zener Bar of the Assam xBhp chapter (I couldn’t meet him last time) and I shared an evening of biking chronicles, the upcoming MaxBhp festival and the exotic north-east.





Day 8: The Last day: The 3 riders on their Apache 200s and I got together in Guwahati. Gourab, Deepak and Avinash and a bunch of other people I had only met on Facebook before ensured that the final strength of the number of riders on the road from Guwahati to Shillong was a comfortable 30 plus. Kaleem Ma, Khiyar Pasha, Akash Dutta, Himajit, Sunil and I travelled the last 80 odd km to Shillong together. Great roads, and the locale! The next 48 hours were spent in taking photographs. Head banging in the Rock Concert, taking photographs, meeting new friends from Bangalore (I am talking about you Karthik), taking photographs by the side of Umiam lake with Khiyar, Akash, Himajit and Sunil and of course taking more photographs.







The MaxBhp event’s location was genius. Neelam of Assam XBhp and JDan did a great job of getting the event to be purely organic and with no trace of steel anywhere. And the stunt show by Aras of Suzuki on the last day deserves a special mention here. All the more because of the stuff Akash pulled off to get a better view.

Thank you xBhp, thank you TVS and finally thank you MaxBhp and the North-east Biking brother for having me over. Till next time…

Currently my P220 engine is making huge rattling noise and when I told to SVC they say some of the parts need to be changed in engine like
1- Timing Chain
2- Scissor Gear
3- Balancing Gear
If these are replaced then noise will reduce. I wanna ask you mates that worn out of these parts only affect the noise or the overall performance like pickup, speed?? And replacing these parts will only reduce noise or going to improve performance as well. As you all know SVC agents didn't deliver anything correctly so I am asking to you all.

[Photo Feature]: For the Love of Roads - BR Hills and KGudi

This one is for the love of the roads. Did this ride back in December last year..


The plan was to cover both BR hills and KGudi by the end of the day and reach home before it's dark. Bangalore weather was still better back in December and early morning ride through Kanakapura- Malavalli was such a bliss. We even encountered fog on the way(video).















Reached BR hills by 8.30 and spent some good amount of time around the temple as well as at the viewpoint.











around 10 we started riding to KGudi I am still amazed at the road quality maintained at this stretch. With green forest on both sides, amazing twisties and the smooth tarmac were so much fun to ride. Reached Kgudi before 12 and spent time just watching by the lake watching elephants.

Hi,
The other day I visited the tyre store to get a new tyre for the car. During a casual chat the guy at the tyre shop told me about the gel which is used for converting Tubetype tyre running on spoke wheels to TUBELESS TYRES. He even told about some people who have been using it for their Royal Enfields, Yamahas, Fieros. How safe is it? I don't know if this has been posted here earlier. Help me out with this.

Something Happened Very Strange With MY SZ-R

Hi Friends,

Yesterday while cleaning my bike in the night, I have seen a broken end of a black tube coming from the left side panel (Airbox side). I have pulled out it without any effort. It was a black tube with little bit thicker than petrol tube. I don't know from-to where it was connected. Bike is running with out any problem, so I though that, it is the petrol overflow pipe for carburetor. But the spare parts showroom(ASC) is saying that it will be transparent tube for overflow. There are also not able to identify the broken pipe. @psr ji and @sibun ji request your help on this.

Thanks,

Rumour - Dani Pedrosa close to Yamaha switch?

Dani Pedrosa could be set to end a 16-year Honda career by joining Movistar Yamaha in place of Jorge Lorenzo next season.

Pedrosa's name had emerged as a 'Plan B' for Yamaha at Jerez last month. However Spanish newspaper El Pais claims that Pedrosa will now become Valentino Rossi's 2017 team-mate.

Yamaha's first target for the ride is (or perhaps was) rising star Maverick Vinales, but the 21-year-old has found it difficult to decide between moving to the M1 and staying at Suzuki.

This morning at Le Mans, the Repsol Honda team and also Vinales' manager denied the report of a Pedrosa/Yamaha deal.

Pedrosa has been a Honda rider ever since his 125GP debut in 2001, winning three titles in the junior classes before joining MotoGP in 200.

The 30-year-old, backed by Movistar during his 125 and 250cc career, has gone on to win 28 premier-class races, making him the most successful rider without a 500cc/MotoGP crown.

If Pedrosa moves it will free up a factory RC213V ride alongside Marc Marquez. The double world champion is also yet to officially sign, but thought certain to stay at Repsol Honda.

Idle RPM problem in RTR 180

Hi Friends,I am one of the proud owner of RTR.I have weird situation some times.While starting the bike, it is doing in normal idle RPM like 1.2 K - 1.4 or by 1.5 K RPM.Normally, I will leave the bike in idle RPM for about 30 Sec to 1 Min for first ride..But after some KM of ride, say like after some 3 KMS, (approximatly.)after stopping the bike for a signal, I have seen that, sometimes the engine is doing less than idle RPM like close to 1 K to 1.1 K RPM or may be sometimes it is turning of automatically.This is not happening so frequently, but it happens some time.My question, after riding a few KM, the engine will be heated, so if it's idling RPM, is little high,it seems to be reasonable.But why it is falling below the Idle RPM range.May I kindly know, what may be the reason for that.Thanks....

I own a Splendor Pro bike that was bought in 2011 and the odometer reading is 40000kms.

After an year of free servicing in authorised service center I have done all the services from local workshops.

In the last service I changed the Engine oil from Castrol 20w40 to Gulf pride 4T plus( 20w40) and also I changed the spark plug and the air filter. The mechanic did some carb settings after I complained of low mileage that I am getting. Right from then I am facing starting trouble mainly in mornings and also when the bike is started after few hours of not using it.

Earlier, the starting issues used to happen only during the mornings but now there are starting issues even in evenings( around 5pm).

The bike takes atleast 10mins of riding to warm up. Using of choke and idling the bike for a minute doesn't work at all. When I put gear and accelerate releasing the clutch slowly, some noise from silencer(pshhhhhhhhh) and the bike gets switched off. It happens for few kilometers before the engine gets warmed up. Sometimes the bike gets switched off in traffic signals after it makes a sound in the silencer.

I am not sure if this is happening due to the carb tuning or because of the new spark plug (of Bosch). The mechanic says there is no problem with the bike.

Earlier I used to feel very confident about my bike as it never got switched off in traffics and all but now it has started giving troubles.

What do u think the reason is and how can I get it corrected?


Right now I am using Gulf pride 4t plus oil( 2100kms old), Bosch spark plug( now total 5000kms old), some local air filter(5000kms old).

The fuel efficiency is just 52 kmpl in highways with a pillion when the bike is ridden above 60kmph. It gives above 60kmpl during the solo rides when ridden at 60kmph.

Please help with valubable tips on how to rectify the problems.

I do lots of long rides and want my bike in condition.
